Process a whole day of recordings in one go

The source text is the job; getting it shouldn't be.

The situationRecordings pile up daily; handling them one at a time never happens. The recording lives in Google Meet.

The chain

1

Get the recording out of Google Meet

Recordings land in the organizer's Google Drive under 'Meet Recordings' and are linked from the Calendar event once processing finishes. Recording requires an eligible Workspace edition and can take a while to appear — it's processing, not lost.

2

Queue the batch

Upload the day's files together — each becomes its own transcript with speakers and timestamps.

3

Skim, don't listen

Ten recordings review in the time one would take to replay.

What you end up with: The daily backlog cleared in one sitting, every file searchable.

For translators & subtitlers: Hours of source audio become working text same-day.

Where does Google Meet store its recordings?

Do I need to install anything?

No. The free preparation tools run entirely in your browser (WebAssembly), and transcription is a web upload with an instant no-signup preview.

Is my file uploaded during the preparation steps?

No — the tools-online steps (extract, compress, trim, convert, clean up) process the file locally in your browser. Audio only uploads when you choose to transcribe it.

How accurate is the transcription?

Clear audio in major languages transcribes near-publishable; noisy or accented audio deserves a review pass. The instant preview shows real output on your own recording before you commit anything.

Why does this matter for translators & subtitlers?

Hours of source audio become working text same-day.
